Comments
Comments: A whole bus of youngsters heading for the summit on my way down. I thought I was in wonderland as I walked through a squat break and all the trees were moving and talking. Good for the camp counselors for taking on such a big hike with kids, lots of kids.
Kali and I enjoyed this redline and the clearing clouds as we hiked.
Great day to be outside, hiking and alive.
